I am proud to announce that FINALLY 16.05 is finished. Not much has changed on the surface for the end users however I have spent a great amount of time switching the way things are handled in the backend so that building and maintaining is both easier and less time consuming on my part.
The most notable change in the back end is a new rootfs built for Manjaro-Arm. Previously, I was creating it manually and it was very time consuming, now with the Basestrap script from Manjaro-Tools, I can create the rootfs within a matter of minutes.

Update to support package signing -- User intervention required
Community,
I have made huge changes to the repo. For the past week or so we have been working on implementing package signing in the same sense as Archlinux and Manjaro. Earlier, I syned the repo that has signatures for most packages.

Manjaro has decided to switch from their Menda theme group to a Vertex theme with maia styling. Like Manjaro, we have also decided to switch and use the Vertex theme with Manjaro-Arm Base edition. Currently the theme is being worked on however, it looks great and is compatible with gtk 3.20.
Of course, these are just theme options…

We have finally added support for the Raspberry Pi 1 and Raspberry pi zero.
This is still in the testing phase but there is a Minimal image posted and ready to be tested by anyone. It should be pretty stable however, issues can be expected.
Moving forward, we will offer 2 ways of downloading and installing Manjaro-Arm to your device.
- The traditional Raspi way using images <.img> that can be dumped <dd> to the sdcard
- The current tarball method in which users can setup partitions themselves.
Both ways has its benefits and pitfalls so we feel it is best for the user to decide.

Manjaro-Arm Community,
We have implemented a new bug tracking system for Manjaro-Arm. This will help us keep track of any issues and more importantly, keep the community updated as to what the status is of the issues.
We decided to go with MantisBT as the software to use. If you are unfamiliar with this software, it is quite simple. I have set it up so that any one can report bugs without an account however, I suggest that you add an sign up for one to help localize the users that are experiencing the issue. If you choose to not use an…
